Of course this was happening when my wife wasn't around until last night, so now I have proof that we need a new tv.
We are also limited to 55" TV due to how living room is set up, maybe 60"
So quickly looking online and noticed they have 4k, QLED and OLED, i just assumed all TV's were 4k now. Do I still try and go for OLED if the price is affordable?

The biggest noticeable difference for OLEDs is blacks are actually black. If you think about a dark scene in a movie on a lot of TVs, it will look a washed out grey. On OLED, since the blacks are true blacks, you will see all the intended details in the scene. Letter boxes for wide screen movies will be actually shut off, so makes the movie a little more immersive.
There are other advantages of OLED, but that's the most noticeable difference in my opinion. If you're not someone who cares about such things, (and a lot of people probably don't care or notice) it is not worth the extra money. To my eyes, blacks that are really black is about the most important feature of a TV, and sets up everything else to pop, but in a natural manner.
I'd imagine in 4-5 years, most tvs are OLED or a competing technology with pixels that turn off.
